For business reasons he did not wish the
checks to be passed as in ordinary business
transactions. A check had been given tor
him on Mills, Glynn, Currie s. Co., who
are the recognized outside bankers of the
Bank of England. He went to them and
demanded the cash for the check. They
had not so much money on hand and were
obliged to ask him to wait until they
could go the Bank of England and pro-
cure it. When he had secured the cash
he went to the other bankers to make
deposit The second house refused to ac
cept the money on deposit until he had
explained to them in the fullest manner
where he had got it. They had never had
so large a deposit made in cash at one
time. They would not accept it without
knowing where it came from and looked
upon him with suspicion for having so
much cash in his possession until he had
explained the circumstances of his bust
ness. Of course the Bank of England had
money enough to meet such check, or a
much larger one. the same as the United
States treasury would be able to meet
great demand. But the fact that $340, 900
should be stumper for two of the big
gest banking establishments of London in
dicates how small part actual cash plays
in the business transactions of the day.

declaration spirtualism has received the
severest blow aimed at it since the day of
its inception.
Henry Seybert was wealthy citizen of
Philadelphia, who late in his life became
a strons believer in thy genuineness of the
phenr snena revealed /. professional me-
diums. The reading ofhis will, after his
death, disclosed the fact that he had made
bequest of 100000 for the maintenance
of chair in the University of Philadel-
phia, the sole condition imposed being
that commission should be appointed to
make a thorough but impartial investiga-
ton of the phenomena of spirtualism.
Over three years ago a body of distin-
guished scientists was selected to under
take this important mission. Horace How
ard Furness. the famous Shakespearian
scholar, acting as chairman,and DIR. William
Pepper, provost of the university and pro-
fessor of the practice of medicine, became
chairman by virtue Of his office.
The commission has secretly tested
numerous mediums from all parts of the
country. The workings of the commits
sion and its verdict ha e been guarded
with jealous care. Their report is now in
press. 1t declares such mediums as DR..
Henry Slade to be nothing more than ex-
pert jugglers.

An Historic Weapon.

w. S. Wetzel received from Benton
yesterday 250-pound brass cannon,
which he became possessor of at the time
he purchased the old fort at Fort Benton
in 1877. The death dealing weapon was
brought to Benton by the American Fur
Company in the early '60s, and was
mounted ON the adobe fort which they
erected at that point. The grim monster
struck awe in the breast of the noble( (?)
savage as he complaeentily gazed down
its 5-inch throat and viewed the iron and
lead missiles with which it was loaded.
History fails to tell whether this ancient
weapon was instrumental in causing the
DEATH of any of the aborigines or not;
but for the purpose of not spelling good
story we will presume it did, and base our
presumption upon the three marks upon
its barrel, which according to dime novel
literature was the manner in which Indian
fighters kept tally of the number of their
victims. But not to carry this romance
too far, we will say this blood despatched
monster is now very tame looking con-
Germ, and will do service here on the oc-
easion of the coming Fourth of July cele-
brasian. It's voracious throat will make
the weikia ring.

BUTTE, June 23.-The Inter Mountain

Magazine which said that Northern Pa
cifc experts spoke unfavorably of the
Sand Coulee coal field. The Inter Mouaa-
tain says "This is a case of the wish
being father to the thought. The Sand
Coulee coal is all right, and it will be laid
down in Butte at a low rate by the Mon
tana Central. The Northern Pacific could
have done two-thirds of the coal business
of Butte if it had been wise enough to
give to this camp direct connection with
the Bozeman coal fields, but as Mr.. Cakes

Remarkable Progress of Butte, the
Great Si!ver-Copper Camp.

BUTTE, June 24-An important article
relative TO the progress and commercial
importance of Butte is published in the
Inter Mountain. In six years, it says, the
value of the precious and base metal out
put at Butte has increased from 81 ,250,000
in 1880 to nearly $14,o00,000 in 1886.
Butte's population has increased during
the same time from 5000 to $4,000. The
number of its mills and smelters has more
than doubled, and their capacity has been
enlarged from 500 tons to 5000 tons per
day. The payroll of the camp. which in
1880 did not number 1000 men and whose
wages did not exceed 100000 per month,
now numbers upwards of 1000 men who
receive monthly for their labor more than
100000.
In 1880 the total freight shipments to
Montana over the Utah & Northern (Which
was then completed only to Dillon)
amounted to only $4,000 tons, while for
the year 1886 the shipments to Butte
alone reached the enormous aggregate of
10000 tons, and its outgoing shipments
were more than 270,000 tons, inclusive of
the ore shipments to Anaconda. The fine
copper shipments alone were 55,000,0O0
pounds, with 35 per cent added for dross.
The single item of coal for 1886 was &c.
900 tons, which will be more than doubled
this year. The increase of freight re-
ceipts for 1886 as compared with 1885 was
$4,000 tons, though the Anaconda smelter
was closed down for half the year.
The indications now are that the receipts
for the current year will be 100000 tons
in excess of those of 1886, and that the
difference in exports will be still greater.
The fine copper output alone will not be
less than S0,000000 pounds at the present
rate of production, and the amount of coal,
coke, machinery, lumber supplies and gen
eral merchandise required, directly and
indirectly, to insure this product can be
easily imagined.

GENERAL TELEGRAMS.

| New YORK, June 22.-The case to test
the right of hotel-keepers to sell liquors
to guests ON Sunday has been argued be-
! fore the supreme court and prompt de-
| cision is expected. The points made by
| the hotel mems counsel are that the COM
| mon law distinctly recognizes the diff
| ference between hotel and tap-foom,
and that liquor at meals is part of the meal
and not beverage Colonel Ingersoll,
| for the hotel men, argued that the contem-
| poransous construction was the best con-
struction, and the fact that for thirty years
| the law had been construed as not prohibit
| ing the service of wine with meals at
hotels, and the fact that no one had ever
been arrested for serving wine, had given
that construction the force of law.
HELENA, June 22.-T. G. Power and
James Sullivan of Helena have bought
fourth interest in the Boulder hot springs
property for $1,000. This was the inter
est held by the late Cornelius Griswold

springs the property includes several acres

provements at an early date.
